|  I'm playing Viewtiful Joe, and there are some I'm still looking for. Also, I think I'll restart Tales of Symphonia soon. |

| Still playing Metroid Prime 2 and Zelda: WW. ON top of that, SSX on Tour and Wave Race Blue Storm get the occasional spin in the old Wii. Played the original Metroid Prime to death now, and none of the old uni mates are here for beer- and banter-fuelled sessions of Soul Calibur II. I keep promising myself to go back and play Eternal Darkness from the beginning, and to finally finish everything in F-Zero GX, but it doesn't happen. Mario Kart: DD hasn't seen much action since the DS and now Wii versions came out, which makes me guilty since I'm one of the few people who really liked it. Maybe I'll go and play it now.

| Here's an update on my Gamecube playings: Just completed Super Mario 64 with 71 stars, and I'm close to getting 120 in Galaxy. I oredered Sunshine last Christmas, and I've been saving it for when I get those outta the way. Still playing Ikaruga. Still loving it. Haven't played Windwaker since before February I'd say. I needa get back to that, so I'll probably look at it again after exams. My recent interest in shmups has led me to look for the best of GameCube shmups. Because Radirgy is being released on the Wii in the Milestone Shhoting Collection, I want to pick it up in that Iteration. However I have been looking for A Japanese Import copy of Shikigami no Shiro II. I know where I can get the Special Edition for £40, but I'd rather get the regular edition, too bad its out of stock everywhere, so I might have to buy the 'Special Edish'. First things first, I should probably get my hands on a GameCube Freeloader. And a Wii Freeloader for The MSC and Shikigami III. I wanna try to get the US version of Shikigami no Shiro III. Does anyone know if a US edition of Shikigami no Shiro II was released for the GameCube and if so, link on where to buy? Got Alien Hominid on the GBA. It's really good. I would look into the GameCube version, but because I DO have an Xbox and it IS on XBLA, well, y'know... And last but now least; I've been meaning to pick up a Thrustmaster VC controller for my Wii. Its supposed to be a good Wavebird substitute, and my current controller is a bit... wired. My seating apparatus is too far away from my Wii for the lead to reach (or even for the sensor bar to work properly) so a nice wireless GameCube controller would be great. Now that I mention it, I need a better sensor bar, with a further range... Any suggestions? That's all for my GameCubings as of late.

Thanks, I think I'll keep looking for a GameCube copy of Shiki II from Japan. As for the Sensor bar, that Nyko one did get great reviews from Screwattack, so perhaps it would be a good investment. I'll look for one in the UK.

| Perhaps... But I'd prefer to get a standard wired sensor bar with a better range, because although Wireless does sound convienent, they use batteries and so I might end up spending more in the long run.

    | If your Wii Remotes are still running on batteries too, consider to get recheargable ones. On Topic: I got me Star Soldier for GameCube, and play it in tandem with Star Solder R on Wii. Star Solder on GameCube is a remake of the NES original with 3D graphics and sounds, also featuring some changes and updates in the gameplay.

| As I have one of those Nyko Wireless stuff, it uses AA, the same as Wii remotes and GBAs.

| Booted up Luigi's mansion 2 days ago and am busy playing through that. Have recently bought Baiten Kaitos but have barely scratched the surface and have also been playing F-Zero GX in anticipation for the Wii entry, whenever that see's the light of day |

| Just got Mega Man Anniversary Collection yesterday, I really love it! Sure, it's not GC exclusive, but still a great compilation of Mega Man games, especially while we don't get Mega Man games on the US VC! This time I'll beat Mega Man 2, I've never been able to do it on the 3 day rental on the NES  .As for a real GC game, I've almost finished Metroid Prime, I'll try finishing it this weekend so I can start playing Metroid Prime 2. I already own Metroid Prime 3, I REALLY want to play it, but not before finishing these two! Last GC game that I finished was ... hmm... I'm pretty sure it was Freedom Fighters, great little game, though the graphics look really bad by today's standards. |

| Well, finished Mega Man 2, 3 , 4 and 5 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and also finished Pikmin 2, which I never got to do it... now I bought some used copies of Zelda: Wind Waker, PN 03 and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. I got PN 03 basically to collect, since I don't really like the gameplay (and I just paid 4 US$ :P) . I already started playing Wind Waker, and so far it's a really great game, I love it. And Dark Alliance I played for about half an hour and set it aside, I'll invite a friend in the weekend and we'll try to finish it during the weekend. |

| Beyond Good and Evil. I'd heard good things about it but could never really get that enthusiastic about it. I've rented it and I love it. It is all manner of awesomeness and has plenty of atmosphere and attention to detail. Superb.

| Metroid Prime, but I'm still at the very beginning. This game is probably huge.

| The Resident Evil remake. Didn't enjoy it. The GC controller is not suited to the tank like controls and it just seemed to lack any...thing. Disappointing but I have so many games after Christmas I'm sure something else will cheer me up.

| Been replayin' Mario Sunshine lately. Man, that game is great. I've seen a lot of dislike for it, which I don't get. I honestly prefer it to 64. (Not as good as Galaxy though) |

| // Yesterday I started on Tomb Raider: Legend- so far, so very very good... much better than the latest releases. I'm guessing it was overlooked by many due to the rather daft release date! Also, the other day I tried Skies of Arcadia but found it to be underwhelming both visually and in terms of gameplay- does it become more interesting later on? A lot of people here recommended it but I am not sure why! -m. //
